We believe in the Universal Fatherhood of God; The 
Spiritual authority and leadership of his Son, Jesus 
Christ; the trustworthiness of the Bible as containing a 
revelation from God; the certainty of just retribution for 
sin; the final harmony of all souls with God.

Article I. We believe that the Holy Scriptures of 
the Old and New Testaments contain a revelation of the 
character of God and of the duty, interest and final des- 
tination of mankind. 

Article II. We believe that there is one God 
whose nature is Love, revealed in one Lord, Jesus Christ, 
by one Holy Spirit of Grace, who will finally restore the 
whole family of mankind to holiness and happiness. 

Article III. We believe that holiness and true 
happiness are inseparably connected, and that believers, 
ought to be careful to maintain order and practice good 
works; for these things are good and profitable unto men.

PREFACE. 

The services in this book are compiled mainly 
from "The Altar," a service book for Sunday-schools 
by Reverend J. G. Bartholomew, first published more 
than forty years ago. During many years of active 
work in the Sunday-school I have found no service 
book to equal it. The subjects are well chosen. 
Among the services one may be found appropriate 
for any and every occasion. The songs in this book 
have been selected from those most successfully used 
in our own school. We have also added a few 
familiar church hymns, which all Sunday-school 
scholars should learn. The successful conduct of any 
Sunday-school depends upon the personality of the 
leader. Preparation is always necessary. Do not 
use the services consecutively, but choose each Sun- 
day one suitable for the occasion or the lesson of 
the day. The following programme is recommended 
for the entire service of the Sunday-school. 

Charles L. Hutchinson. 
Chicago, November ist, 1905.

FIRST SERVICE. 



PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING. 

I. Singing. 

II. Superintendent's Reading. 

Come, ye children, hearken unto me : I will teach 
you the fear of the Lord. 

Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that 
hath made us, and not we ourselves ; we are his peo- 
ple, and the sheep of his pasture. 

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into 
his courts with praise: be thankful unto him and 
bless his name. 

For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; 
and his truth endureth to all generations. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively.) 
Mark xii. i-ii. 

And he began to speak unto them by parables. A 
certain man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge 
about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and 
built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and 
went into a far country. 

And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a 
servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen 
of the fruit of the vineyard. 

And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him 
away empty. 

And again he sent unto them another servant, and 
at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the 
head, and sent him away shamefully handled. 

And again he sent another; and him they killed, 
and many others ; beating some, and killing some. 

Having yet therefore one son, his well beloved, 



he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will 
reverence my son. 

But those husbandmen said among themselves, 
This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the in- 
heritance shall be ours. 

And they took him, and killed him, and cast him 
out of the vineyard. 

What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? 
he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will 
give the vineyard unto others. 

And have ye not read this scripture; The stone 
which the builders rejected is become the head of 
the corner. 

This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in 
our eyes? 

And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared 
the people; for they knew that he had spoken the 
parable against them: and they left him and went 
their way. 

IV. Recitation of Creed. 
V. Responses. 

Superintendent Oh that men would praise the 
Lord for his goodness, 

School. And for his wonderful works to the 
children of men. 

Sup. For he satisfieth the longing soul. 

School. And filleth the hungry soul with good- 
ness. 

Sup. He executeth righteousness and judgment. 

School. For all that are oppressed; 

Sup. He turneth rivers into a wilderness, 

School. And the water-springs into dry ground. 

Sup. Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his 
name. 

School Worship the Lord in the beauty of holi- 
ness. 

4 






Sup. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the 
Lord, 

School. And to sing praises unto thy name, O 
most High; 

Sup. To show forth thy loving-kindness in the 
morning, 

School. And thy faithfulness every night. 

Sup. Oh magnify the Lord with me, 

School. And let us exalt his name together. 

VI. Prayer. 

Oh thou that hearest prayer, and knowest the se- 
crets of every heart, we adore thee as the only living 
and true God, the Father of all mankind. Thou 
hast created the heavens and the earth, and filled 
the universe with witnesses of thy wisdom and 
power. All that thou hast made reflects thy glory, 
and magnifies thy name. Thou hast created us in 
the image of thyself, and called us by the tender 
name of children. And we would render unto thee 
some worthy offering of praise for thy love and 
kindness toward us. Thou art the light of our path- 
way, and the joy of our souls. And now, Oh Father, 
we would bring our hearts to thee. Make us more 
worthy of thy love, more worthy to be called thy 
children. We have met together for instruction in 
thy word; to learn more of thy will and purposes 
concerning us ; more of our duties to thee and to 
each other. Let thy blessing rest upon our school, 
and thy Spirit upon all our hearts. Give unto each 
of us wisdom from on high, to guide us in all the 
ways of life, and grant us thy salvation, through 
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 

VII. Chant. 

VIII. Singing. 



SECOND SERVICE. 



THE DUTY OF WORSHIP. 

I. Singing. 

II. Superintendent's Reading. 

Oh, come, let us worship and bow down; let us 
kneel before the Lord our maker. 

Let us come before his presence with thanksgiv- 
ing, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. 

I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my 
God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. 

For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord 
will give grace and glory: no good thing will he 
withhold from them that walk uprightly. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively.) 
John iv. 5-10, 19-24. 

Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is 
called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob 
gave to his son Joseph. 

Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus, therefore, be- 
ing wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: 
and it was about the sixth hour. 

There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water : 
Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. 

For his disciples were gone away unto the city 
to buy meat. 

Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How 
is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, 
which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have 
no dealings with Samaritans. 

Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knew- 
est the gift of God, and who it is that saith unto 



thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked 
of him, and he would have given thee living water. 

The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that 
thou art a prophet. 

Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye 
say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought 
to worship. 

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour 
cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor 
yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 

Ye worship ye know not what: we know what 
we worship ; for salvation is of the Jews. 

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true 
worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and 
in truth ; for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 

God is a Spirit; and they that worship him must 
worship him in spirit and in truth. 

IV. Recitation of Creed. 
V. Responses. 

Superintendent. Who shall ascend into the hill 
of the Lord ? or who shall stand in his holy place ? 

School. He that hath clean hands and a pure 
heart. 

Sup. He shall receive the blessing of the Lord, 

School. And righteousness from the God of his 
salvation. 

Sup. Lift up your heads, Oh ye gates ! 

School. And be ye lifted up ye everlasting doors; 

Sup. Lift up your heads, Oh, ye gates! 

School. And the king of glory shall come in. 

Sup. Who is this King of glory? 

School. The Lord of hosts; he is the king of 
glory. 

Sup. I will extol thee, my God, Oh King; 



School And I will bless thy name forever and 
ever. 

Sup. Every day I will bless thee, 

School. And I will praise thy name forever and 
ever. 

Sup. Oh satisfy us early with thy mercy, 

School. That we may rejoice and be glad all our 
days. 

VI. Prayer. 

Our Father who art in heaven — the source of life 
and the giver of all good: Thou hast taught us to 
look unto thee in prayer, and to worship thee in 
spirit and in truth. Thou has revealed thyself to us 
as our best and dearest friend. Thou hast taught 
us to put all our trust in thee, for thou will never 
leave us nor forsake us. We thank thee that we 
are the children of thy love; that thou art leading 
us through all the changing scenes of life, and that 
wherever we may be, or whatever may befall us, we 
can say, thou doest all things well. Help us, our 
Father, to worship thee aright— to open our hearts 
before thee in gratitude and praise. Help us to 
understand thy holy word, that we may serve thee 
better, and love thee more and more. Give unto 
each of us that purity of heart which shall enable 
us to see thee in all the ways of life. Make us true 
and faithful followers of thy dear Son; and may it 
be our highest aim to make our lives and characters 
like his. Let thy blessing rest upon us while we are 
here together, and thy Spirit go with us, to guide 
us in the duties of the week before us; and to thy 
name be all praise and glory, forever. Amen. 

VII. Chant. 
VIII. Singing. 



THIRD SERVICE. 



THE SABBATH DAY. 

I. Singing. 

II. Superintendent's Reading. 

One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I 
seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the 
Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of 
the Lord, and to inquire in his temple. 

For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his 
pavilion; in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide 
me; he shall set me upon a rock. 

When thou saidst, Seek ye my face : my heart said 
unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek. 

And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness 
and of thy praise all the day long. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively. ) 
Luke vi. i-io. 

And it came to pass on the second Sabbath after 
the first, that he went through the cornfields; and 
his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, 
rubbing them in their hands. 

And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why 
do ye that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath 
days? 

And Jesus, answering them, said, Have ye not 
read so much as this, what David did, when himself 
was anhungered, and they which were with him; 

How he went into the house of God, and did take 
and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that 
were with him ; which it is not lawful to eat but for 
the priests alone? 



And he said unto them, That the Son of Man 
is Lord also of the Sabbath. 

And it came to pass also on another Sabbath, that 
he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there 
was a man whose right hand was withered. 

And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, 
whether he would heal on the Sabbath day ; that they 
might find an accusation against him. 

But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man 
which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand 
forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth. 

Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask for one 
thing; Is it lawful on the Sabbath days to do good, 
or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? 

And looking round about upon them all he said 
unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did 
so, and his hand was restored whole as the other. 

IV. Recitation of Creed. 
V. Responses. 

Superintendent. Praise waiteth for thee, Oh God, 
in Zion; 

School. And unto thee shall the vow be per- 
formed. 

Sup. Oh thou that hearest prayer, 

School. Unto thee shall all flesh come. 

Sup. Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, 
and causest to approach unto thee; 

School. That he may dwell in thy courts. 

Sup. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of 
thy house, 

School. Even of thy holy temple. 

Sup. Oh bless our God, ye people, 

School. And let the voice of his praise be heard. 

Sup. Which holdeth our soul in life, 

10 



School. And suffereth not our feet to be moved. 
Sup. I will praise thee, Oh Lord, among the peo- 
ple. 
School. I will sing unto thee among the nations. 
Sup. Be thou exalted, Oh God, above the heavens ; 
School. And let thy glory be above all the earth. 

VI. Prayer. 

We render thanks to thee, O God of heaven and 
earth, for all thy goodness to us, and for all the 
testimonies of thy love. We thank thee for this holy 
day, and all the sacred memories it awakens in our 
hearts. May it be to us a day of rest, of sweet com- 
munion with each other and with thee. May we 
think of him whose resurrection from the dead has 
made this a sacred day to every Christian heart. 
And while we sing thy praises, and lift up our voices 
in prayer, may we feel our dependence upon thee for 
all we have and all that we enjoy; that we may 
worship thee with all our hearts. We thank thee for 
our happy homes, our loving parents, our kind teach- 
ers and companions. We pray for thy blessing to 
rest upon them all. May we ever feel grateful to 
thee for these expressions of thy goodness ; and may 
we show our gratitude by our obedience to thy will. 
Help us, we pray thee, to carry these Sabbath lessons 
in our hearts, to live according to the precepts which 
are taught us here; that others, seeing our good 
works, may be led to glorify thy name, through 
Jesus Christ. Amen.

FOURTH SERVICE. 



THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. 

I. Singing. 
II. Superintendent's Reading. 

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom 
shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; 
of whom shall I be afraid? 

The Lord is my strength and my shield ; my heart 
trusted in him, and I am helped : therefore my heart 
greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise 
him. 

Though a host should encamp against me, my 
heart shall not fear: though war should rise against 
me, in this wiU I be confident. 

The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants : and 
none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively.) 
John vi. 27-35. 

Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for 
that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which 
the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath 
God the Father sealed. 

Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that 
we might work the works of God? 

Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the 
work of God, that ye believe on him whom he 
hath sent. 

They said therefore unto him, What sign showest 
thou then, that we may see, and believe thee ? What 
dost thou work? 

12 



Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is 
written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. 

Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say 
unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from 
heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread 
from heaven. 

For the bread of God is he which cometh down 
from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 

Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us 
this bread. 

And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life : 
he that cometh to me shall never hunger ; and he that 
believeth on me shall never thirst. 

IV. Recitation of Creed. 
V. Responses. 

Superintendent. The Lord is my Shepherd, 

School. I shall not want. 

Sup. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures ; 

School. He leadeth me beside the still waters: 

Sup. He restoreth my soul; 

School. He leadeth me in the paths of righteous- 
ness for his name's sake. 

Sup. Yea, though I walk through the valley of 
the shadow of death, 

School. I will fear no evil ; for thou art with me ; 

Sup. Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 

School. Thou preparest a table before me in the 
presence of my enemies. 

Sup. Thou anointest my head with oil ; 

School. My cup runneth over. 

Sup. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me 
all the days of my life, 

School. And I will dwell in the house of the 
Lord forever. 

13 



Sup. When my heart is overwhelmed will I cry 
unto thee; 
School Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I. 

VI. Prayer. 

God of all goodness and grace, permit us, thy 
needy children, to approach thee in the name of 
Jesus Christ. We adore thee as the father of our 
spirits. We worship thee as the giver of every good 
and perfect gift, our righteousness and strength. 
We draw near to thee in prayer, with the full 
assurance of faith. Accept our feeble offering, and 
give us answers of peace. Enable us to realize, O 
our Father, how great is our indebtedness to thee 
for the gifts of life and health; for friendship and 
for friends; for the Bible, with its promises and 
hopes; for Jesus Christ, our Master and Redeemer. 
Thou knowest how poor and weak we are, and that 
all we can give is as nothing before thee. Yet thou 
hast taught us that thou wilt not refuse the sincere 
worship of the feeblest heart. May this be our offer- 
ing to-day, and may we feel that we have found 
acceptance with thee. Help us to learn and do thy 
will. Forgive us all our sins, and keep us ever in 
thy love; and to thee shall be ascribed praise and 
dominion forevermore. Amen.

FIFTH SERVICE. 



EARLY RELIGIOUS CULTURE. 

I. Singing. 

II. Superintendent's Reading. 

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most 
High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 

He giveth power to the faint; and to them that 
have no might he increaseth strength. 

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the 
young men shall utterly fall: 

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their 
strength ; they shall mount up with wings as eagles ; 
they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall 
walk, and not faint. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively.) 
Prov. iv. 

Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and 
attend to know understanding. 

For I give you good doctrine; forsake ye not my 
law. 

Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not 
in the way of evil men. 

Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass 
away. 

For they sleep not except they have done mischief ; 
and their sleep is taken away unless they cause some 
to fall. 

For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink 
the wine of violence. 

But the path of the just is as the shining light, that 
shineth more and more unto the perfect day. 

15 



The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know 
not at what they stumble. 

My son, attend to my words ; incline thine ear 
unto my sayings. 

Let them not depart from thine eyes ; keep them in 
the midst of thine heart. 

For they are life unto those that find them, and 
health to all their flesh. 

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are 
the issues of life. 

Put away from thee a f roward mouth, and perverse 
lips put far from thee. 

Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids 
look straight before thee. 

Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways 
be established. 

Turn not to the right hand nor to the left : remove 
thy foot from evil. 

IV. Recitation of Creed. 
V. Responses. 

Superintendent. O God, thou are my God ; 

School. Early will I seek thee ; 

Sup. Because thy loving kindness is better than 
life, 

School. My lips shall praise thee. 

Sup. Thus will I bless thee while I live; 

School. I will lift up my hands in thy name. 

Sup. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow 
and fatness; 

School. And my mouth shall praise thee with joy- 
ful lips. 

Sup. Bless the Lord, O my soul! 

School. And all that is within me, bless his holy 
name. 

16 



Sup. Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; 

School. Who crowneth thee with loving-kindness 
and tender mercies ; 

Sup. Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things, 

School. So that thy youth is renewed like the 
eagle's. 

Sup. Bless the Lord all his works, in all places 
of his dominion ! 

School. Bless the Lord, O my soul! 

VI. Prayer. 

O thou on whom all creatures depend, the source 
and center of all truth and life ; we come to thee with 
grateful hearts for the privileges and blessings which 
we now enjoy. Thou hast preserved us through 
another week, and brought us to behold the light of 
this Sabbath day. And now, O God, we would renew 
our vows to thee, to love and serve thee better, and 
to seek, in all we do and say, to glorify thy holy 
name. Help us to consecrate our youthful hearts to 
thee, that we may follow closer in the footsteps of 
our Master and Redeemer. Help us to resist tempta- 
tion, to turn our eyes away from the false attractions 
of sin, to overcome evil with good. May we abhor 
all that is wrong, and cleave only to that which is 
just and right. May we realize that thou art with 
us every day and hour of life, that we may strive to 
make our conduct pleasing in thy sight. Prepare us 
for all the duties and trials of the world; give us 
strength to labor, and patience to endure, and bring 
us at last to serve thee in a higher and better life, 
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE BIBLE. 

I. Singing. 

II. Superintendent's Reading. 

Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in 
the law of the Lord. 

Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that 
seek him with the whole heart. 

Thou art my portion, O Lord : I have said that I 
would keep thy words. 

I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect 
unto thy ways. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively.) 
Isa. lv. 

Ho, everyone that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, 
and he that hath no money; come ye, buy and eat; 
yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and 
without price. 

Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not 
bread? and your labor for that which satisfieth not? 
Hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is 
good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. 

Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and 
your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting 
covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. 

Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye 
upon him while he is near. 

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous 
man his thoughts ; and let him return unto the Lord, 
and he will have mercy upon him ; and to our God, 
for he will abundantly pardon.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are 
your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so 
are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts 
than your thoughts. 

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from 
heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the 
earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may 
give seed to the sower and bread to the eater ; 

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my 
mouth : it shall not return unto me void, but it shall 
accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper 
in the thing whereto I sent it. 

For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with 
peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth 
before you into singing, and all the trees of the field 
shall clap their hands. 

Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and 
instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree; 
and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an ever- 
lasting sign that shall not be cut off.

ought to have done, and we have done those things 
which we ought not to have done. But thou, O Lord, 
have mercy upon us. Spare thou those, O God, who 
confess their faults. Restore thou those who are 
penitent, according to thy promises declared unto 
mankind in Christ Jesus our Lord. And grant, O

godly, righteous, and sober life, to the glory of thy 
holy name. Amen.

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the 
city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. 

Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, 
is Mount Zion, on the sides of the North, the city of 
the great King. 

God is known in her palaces for a refuge. 

Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his holy 
hill; for the Lord our God is holy. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively.) 
Isa. xl. 

The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, 
Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the 
desert a highway for our God. 

Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain 
and hill shall be made low ; and the crooked shall be 
made straight, and the rough places plain: 

And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and 
all flesh shall see it together : for the mouth of the 
Lord hath spoken it. 

He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall 
gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his 
bosom. 

To whom then will ye liken God? Or what like- 
ness will ye compare unto him? 

Have ye not known? Have ye not heard? Hath 
it not been told you from the beginning? Have ye 
not understood from the foundations of the earth ? 

21 



It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and 
the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that 
stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth 
them out as a tent to dwell in : 

That bringeth the princes to nothing ; he maketh the 
judges of the earth as vanity. 

Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath 
created these things, that bringeth out their host by 
number : he calleth them all by names by the greatness 
of his might, for that he is strong in power ; not one 
faileth.

heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our mouths with 
food, and our hearts with gladness. 

O Lord of heaven and earth, thou dwellest not in 
temples made with hands, neither art thou worshipped 
with men's hands, as though thou neededst anything. 
But thou givest to all, life, and breath, and all things. 
Grant us to seek thee, to feel after thee, and find thee ; 
and may we ever remember that thou art not far from 
every one of us, for in thee we live, and move, and 
have our being. Open thou our eyes, and by thy 
Holy Spirit do thou shine into our minds, we pray 
thee, till the heavens, and the earth, and our own 
souls also, are full of God to our sight, and till we 
own thee, and magnify thee in them all. Amen.

merciful. 

Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord 
hath dealt bountifully with thee. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively. ) 
i John hi. 

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath be- 
stowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of 
God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it 
knew him not. 

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth 
not yet appear what we shall be : but we know that, 
when he shall appear, we shall be like him, for we shall 
see him as he is. 

And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth 
himself, even as he is pure. 

Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the 
law; for sin is the transgression of the law. 

And ye know that he was manifested to take away 
our sins; and in him is no sin. 

Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever 
sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 

Little children, let no man deceive you : he that doeth 
righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 

24 



My little children, let us not love in word, neither in 
tongue; but in deed and in truth. 

And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and 
shall assure our hearts before him. 

For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than 
our heart, and knoweth all things. 

Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we 
confidence toward God. 

And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because 
we keep his commandments, and do those things that 
are pleasing in his sight.

thou art almighty in thy love as in thy power ; that thy 
wisdom is the wisdom of love ; and as boundless as thy 
presence, so boundless is thy love to the children of 
men. Surely, goodness and mercy follow us all the 
days of our lives, and thy love maketh our cup to run 
over with blessings. O Lord, we are thy dependent 
children. We are poor, and weak, and sinful; but 
none of us are so poor but thy love can make us rich ; 
none of us so weak but thy love can give us strength ; 
none are so sinful but thy love will abound over all. 
Thou didst commend thy love to the world in that 
while all thy children had gone astray, thou didst send 
thy Son, that through him the world might be saved. 
As thou dost love us, so help us to love thee, and show 
our love by obedient service. Draw us very near to 
thee, and fold us there until our own hearts shall beat 
responsive to thine. May we walk continually with 
the consciousness that thy love is around us. Amen,

LOVE TO ONE ANOTHER. 

I. Singing. 

II. Superintendent's Reading. 

These six things doth the Lord hate ; yea, seven are 
an abomination unto him : 

A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed 
innocent blood ; 

A heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that 
be swift in running to mischief ; 

A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that 
soweth discord among brethren. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively. ) 
i John iv. 

Beloved, let us love one another ; for love is of God ; 
and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth 
God. 

He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God is 
love. 

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, 
because that God sent his only-begotten Son into the 
world, that we might live through him. 

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he 
loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for 
our sins. 

Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love 
one another. 

No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one 
another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected 
in us. 

Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in 
us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 

27 



And we have seen and do testify that the Father 
sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 

Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of 
God, God dwelleth in him and he in God. 

And we have known and believed the love that God 
hath to us. God is love ; and he that dwelleth in love 
dwelleth in God, and God in him. 

And this commandment have we from him, That he 
who loveth God love his brother also.

We desire to lift up our souls to thee in humble 
trust and with reverent affection, that we may come 
nearer to thee in feeling and action. 

Thou hast manifested thyself to the world in many 
ways, but especially through thy Son Jesus Christ, who 
came to the earth because thou didst so greatly love 
our race, and who lived and taught among men that 
they might learn to serve thee, and to love each other 
better. 

O holy Father, fill our hearts with love, such as 
dwelt in thy Son. May we be gentle and kind towards 
our parents, our brothers and sisters, and may we 
cherish and practise love towards all men, wherever we 
mingle or meet with them. 

God of truth and mercy, may we love the poor, the 
sick, and the sorrowing of our race, and may we seek 
to do them good. Grant unto us such wisdom, and 
strength, to do thy will, that we may love our enemies, 
bless them that curse us, and pray for those that de- 
spitefully use us and persecute us. Amen.

Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie

When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou 
sleepest, it shall keep thee ; and when thou awakest, it

For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain

Children, obey your parents in the Lord : for this is

Honor thy father and mother; which is the first

Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy

wisdom, to comprehend the sacredness of all these 
gifts. 

Thou knowest, heavenly Father, how much, under 
thee, we owe to our earthly parents; how deep, and 
broad, and high, their interest and love for us ; how 
much, from the beginning of our existence until now, 
they have suffered and done for our good. 

Aid us, O thou Infinite and Holy One, we pray thee, 
that we may know and do our whole duty to them. In 
childhood and youth, may we strive to repay them for 
what they have done, and are still doing for us. May 
we never give them pain by any indifference to their 
wishes, nor because we are guilty of private vice or 
public sin ; but may we always give them pleasure and 
cause for true gratitude to thee, by a ready response 
to all their Christian demands, and by our continual 
growth in all the graces of true life give thee praise 
and glory through thy Son and our Saviour forever.

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively. ) 
i Kings iii. 5-14. 

In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a 
dream by night : and God said, Ask what I shall give 
thee. 

And Solomon said, Thou has showed unto thy serv- 
ant David my father great mercy, according as he 
walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, 
and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou 
hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast 
given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. 

And now, Oh Lord my God, thou hast made thy 
servant king instead of David my father: and I am 
but a little child : I know not how to go out or come 
in. 

And thy servant is in the midst of thy people 
which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot 
be numbered or counted for multitude. 

Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart 

33 



to judge thy people, that I may discern between good 
and bad; for who is able to judge this thy so great a 
people ? 

And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon 
had asked this thing. 

And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked 
this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life ; 
neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor has asked 
life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself 
understanding to discern judgment; 

Behold, I have done according to thy word ; lo, I 
have given thee a wise and understanding heart; 
so that there was none like thee before thee, neither 
after thee shall any arise like unto thee. 

And I have also given thee that which thou hast 
not asked, both riches and honor: so that there shall 
not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy 
days. 

And if thou will walk in my ways, to keep my 
statutes and my commandments, as thy father David 
did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.

No man can serve two masters : for either he will

God and mammon. 

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought of 
your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; 
nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not 
the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 

Behold the fowls of the air: for tHey sow* not, 
neither do they reap, nor gather into barns ; yet your 
heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much bet- 
ter than they? 

Which of you by taking thought can add one 
cubit unto his stature ? 

And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider 

36 



the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, 
neither do they spin: 

And yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all 
his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, 
which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, 
shall he not much more clothe you, Oh ye of little 
faith? 

Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we 
eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall 
we be clothed? 

(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek) : 
for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need 
of all these things, 

But seek ye firs*t the kingdom of God and his 
righteousness ; and all these things shall be added unto

labor of love, which ye have showed toward his 
name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and 
do minister. 

And we desire that every one of you do show the 
same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto 
the end: 

That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who 
through faith and patience inherit the promises. 

For when God made promise to Abraham, because 
he could swear by no greater, he swore by himself, 

Saying, Surely, blessing I will bless thee, and mul- 
tiplying I will multiply thee. 

He staggered not at the promise of God through 
unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to 
God; 

39 



And being fully persuaded, that what he had prom- 
ised he was able also to perform. 

And therefore it was imputed to him for right- 
eousness. 

And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained 
the promise. 

For men verily swear by the greater ; and an oath 
for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. 

Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show 
unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his 
counsel, confirmed it by an oath: 

That by two immutable things, in which it was 
impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong 
consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold 
upon the hope set before us : 

Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, 
both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that 
within the veil.

Sup. Cast not away, therefore, your confidence, 

School. Which hath great recompense of reward. 

Sup. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation, 

School. For when he is tried, he shall receive the 
crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them 
that love him. 

Sup. This is the promise that he hath promised us,

School. Trust also in him, and he shall bring it 
to pass.

Sup. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith ; 

School. For he is faithful that promised. 

VI. Prayer. 

Our Father who art in heaven, we come to thee 
in childlike trust, asking thee to hear our prayer. 
Whom have we in heaven but thee, and who on 
earth should claim our love as thou, Father of our 
spirits? We thank thee for all thy gracious words. 
We thank thee for thy promises, so precious and 
true. And, as we meet here to-day, around this altar, 
and think of all thy tender mercies, we would call 
upon our souls, and all that is within us, to praise 
and glorify thy name. Oh our God, without thy 
word to guide us, how dark would be our lives. But 
thou art rich in mercy and goodness. And while 
we thank thee for life and health, for friendship and 
friends, we would, above all, adore thy grace, and 
praise thy love, which gave thy Son to save us from 
sin, and bring us to thee ! Thou art our Father, and 
we pray that thou wilt teach us to trust in thee. 
Make us stronger while we read thy holy word; fill 
our hearts with truth and peace, and keep our feet 
from the ways of evil. Amen.

Oh taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is 
the man that trusteth in him. 

Oh fear the Lord, ye his saints ; for there is no want 
to them that fear him. 

Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid 
up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought 
for them that trust in thee before the sons of men. 

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; but 
they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively. ) 
Matt. vii. 18-29. 

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can 
a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn 
down and cast into the fire. 

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall 
enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth 
the will of my Father which is in heaven. 

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have 
we not prophesied in thy name ? and in thy name have 
cast out devils ? and in thy name done many wonder- 
ful works ? 

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew 
you : depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, 
and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, 
which built his house upon a rock: 

42 



And the rain descended, and the floods came, and 
the winds blew, and beat upon that house ; and it fell 
not ; for it was founded upon a rock. 

And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, 
and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish 
man, which built his house upon the sand; 

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and 
the winds blew, and beat upon that house ; and it fell ; 
and great was the fall of it. 

And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these 
sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine ; 

For he taught them as one having authority, and 
not as the scribes. 

IV. Recitation of Creed.

himself. 

Sup. The liberal deviseth liberal things,

Sup. He that trusteth in his riches shall fall ; 

School. But the righteous shall flourish as a 
branch. 

Sup. There shall no evil happen to the just:

Sup. The hope of the righteous shall be gladness : 

School. But the expectation of the wicked shall 
perish. 

Sup. What man is he that desireth life, and loveth 
many days, that he may see good? 

School. Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips 
from speaking guile.

Sup. Mark the perfect man, and behold the up- 
right ;

art our Father, Benefactor, and everlasting Friend.

Thy blessings come to us as freely as the air we 
breathe, and the light by which we see. Thou art 
royal in benevolence. Let us sing praises unto thee, 
and rejoice in the God of our salvation. We thank 
thee, our Father, for that divine nature which we in- 
herit from thee. We thank thee that thou hast made 
goodness its own reward. Help us to find and follow 
the true and perfect life. Bless our Sabbath school, 
all its members and all its means of doing good. Aid 
us by thy good Spirit, that our thoughts may be rightly 
directed, and our hearts filled with fervent devotion. 
Forgive us all our sins, sanctify us by thy truth, and

me, Thou art my Son ; this day have I begotten thee. 

Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for 
thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth 
for thy possession. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively.) 
John vi. and vii. 

Now, about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up in- 
to the temple, and taught. 

And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this 
man letters, having never learned ? 

Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not 
mine, but his that sent me. 

If any man will do his will, he shall know of the 
doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of 
myself. 

All that the Father giveth me shall come to me ; and 
him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 

For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own 
will : but the will of him that sent me. 

And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, 
that of all which he hath given me, I should lose 
nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 

And this is the will of him that sent me, that every 

45 



one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may 
have everlasting life : and I will raise him up at the 
last day. 

The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I 
am the bread which came down from heaven. 

And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, 
whose father and mother we know? how is it then 
that he saith, I came down from heaven ? 

Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Mur- 
mur not among yourselves. 

No man can come to me, except the Father which 
hath sent me draw him ; and I will raise him up at the 
last day.

face of our Father, for no man cometh unto the 
Father but by him. 

We thank thee, O God, for all that Jesus has been 
and is to our race; for him as our Good Shepherd, 
leading us into the green pastures, and by the side of 
the still waters of life ; for him as our Guide, and while 
he points out the road, himself leads the way to 
heaven ; for him as our Redeemer, who will not fail 
nor be discouraged, till he has set judgment in the 
earth, till he has restored the last wanderer, wiped the 
tears from every eye, and there is one fold and one 
Shepherd. Oh keep us in his and in thy love. We 
ask all through him who loved us and died for us.

When the Lord shall build up Zion, he shall appear

He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not 
despise their prayer. 

This shall be written for the generation to come: 
and the people which shall be created shall praise the 
Lord. 

For he hath looked down from the height of his 
sanctuary ; from heaven did the Lord behold the earth ; 

To hear the groaning of the prisoner ; to loose those 
that are appointed to death. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively. ) 
i Tim. ii. : Matt. vi. 

I exhort, therefore, that first of all, supplications, 
prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made 
for all men ; 

For kings, and for all that are in authority ; that we 
may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and 
honesty. 

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God 
our Saviour; 

Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto 
the knowledge of the truth. 

For there is one God, and one Mediator between 
God and men, the man Christ Jesus ; 

Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in 
due time. 

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the 

4 8 



hypocrites are; for they love to pray standing in the 
synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they 
may be seen of men. Verily, I say unto you, they 
have their reward. 

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, 
and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father 
which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in 
secret shall reward thee openly. 

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the 
heathen do : for they think that they shall be heard for 
their much speaking. 

Be not ye therefore like unto them : for your Father 
knoweth what things ye have need of before ye ask 
him.

Merciful God, Father of our spirits; to thee we 
offer up our prayer and supplication. We thank 
thee that thou hast promised to hear us when we pray. 
We bless thee, Oh, Lord, that Jesus has told us that 
thou art our Father ; that thou lovest us with a love 
greater even than the love of our earthly parents. 
We come to thee, therefore, with the confidence and 
affection of children. We beseech thee to teach us 
how to pray, that we may ask aright and for those 
things which we need ; for those things which will 
make us good, and useful, and happy. 

And we desire, Oh our Father, that we may always 
have the spirit of supplication in our hearts ; that we 
may remember we are dependent on thee for all our 
blessings. Lead us, Oh God, to look to thee for all 
that we want, and to pray for thy blessing on all that 
we do. May we each day look to thee for our daily 
bread, for the forgiveness of our sins, and for de- 
liverance from temptation. And so, with the spirit 
of prayer always in our hearts, may thy kingdom 
come, and thy will be done in us, through Jesus 
Christ our Lord. Amen.

For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, Oh

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is 
high; I cannot attain unto it. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively.) 
Matt. ix. 18-31. 

While he spake these things unto them, behold, 
there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, say- 
ing, My daughter is even now dead: but come and 
lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. 

And Jesus arose and followed him, and so did 
his disciples. 

And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with 
an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, 
and touched the hem of his garment : 

For she said within herself, If I may but touch 
his garment I shall be whole. 

But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, 
he said, Daughter, be of good comfort ; thy faith 
hath made thee whole. And the woman was made 
whole from that hour. 

51 



And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and 
saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, 

He said unto them Give place ; for the maid is not 
dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. 

But when the people were put forth, he went in 
and took her by the hand, and the maid arose. 

And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land. 

And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men 
followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of Da- 
vid, have mercy on us. 

And when he was come into the house, the blind 
men came to him : and Jesus saith unto them, Believe 
ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, 
Yea, Lord. 

Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to 
your faith be it unto you. 

And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly 
charged them, saying, See that no man know it. 

But they, when they were departed, spread abroad 
his fame in all that country.

Jesus as the Good Shepherd, who loveth the lambs

Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace

By whom also we have access by faith into this grace 
wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of 
God. 

And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also ; 
knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 

And patience, experience, and experience, hope: 

And hope maketh not ashamed ; because the love of 
God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost 
which is given unto us. 

For when we were yet without strength, in due time 
Christ died for the ungodly. 

For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet 
peradventure for a good man some would even dare to 
die. 

54 



But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, 
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, 
but according to his mercy, he saved us, by the wash- 
ing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost ;

thou wilt prepare their heart; thou wilt cause thine 
ear to hear ; 

To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the 
man of the earth may no more oppress. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively.) 
i Cor. xiii. 

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of 
angels, and have not charity, I am become as sound- 
ing brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and under- 
stand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I 
have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and 
have not charity, I am nothing. 

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the 
poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and 
have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 

Charity suffereth long, and is kind ; charity envieth 
not ; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 

Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her 
own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 

57 



Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth ; 

Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all 
things, endureth all things. 

Charity never faileth : but whether there be proph- 
ecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they 
shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall 
vanish away. 

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 

But when that which is perfect is come, then that 
which is in part shall be done away. 

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I under- 
stood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I 
became a man, I put away childish things. 

For now we see through a glass, darkly ; but then 
face to face; now I know in part; but then shall I 
know even as also I am known. 

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; 
but the greatest of these is charity.

Father in heaven, we hallow thy name, for it is 
Love. Thou hast required us to have faith in thee,

and we are hopeful. Yet more than all hast thou 
enjoined upon us that charity which "believeth all 
things, and hopeth all things," and which in itself 
comprehends all Christian graces. Most fervently do 
we pray that this spirit may live in our hearts, and 
find expression in our lives. Oh, deepen within us the 
conviction that charity is the substance of the Chris- 
tian life, and that without it we are nothing as we 
ought to be. O blessed Father, lift us above the nar- 
row and selfish, into thy loving presence. Bless all 
who wait around this altar with an ever-growing love. 
Let us feel thy nearness as a welcome reality in all 
our labors, pleasures, joys and sorrows, and in all our

I. Singing. 

II. Superintendent's Reading. 

Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, 
whose sin is covered. 

Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth 
not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. 

Rejoice the soul of thy servant ; for unto thee, O 
Lord, do I lift up my soul. 

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; 
and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon 
thee. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively.) 
Matt, xviii. 

Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft 
shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? 
till seven times ? 

Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until 
seven times, but until seventy times seven. 

Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto 
a certain king, which would take account of his 
servants. 

And when he had begun to reckon, one was 
brought unto him which owed him ten thousand 
talents. 

But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord 
commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and chil- 
dren, and all that he had, and payment to be made. 

The servant therefore fell down and worshipped 
him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will 
pay thee all. 

60 



Then the lord of that servant was moved with 
compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the 
debt. 

But the same servant went out, and found one of 
his fellow-servants which owed him a hundred pence ; 
and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, 
saying, Pay me that thou owest. 

And his fellow-servant fell down at his feet and 
besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and 
I will pay thee all. 

And he would not; but went and cast him into 
prison, till he should pay the debt. 

So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, 
they were very sorry, and came and told unto their 
lord all that was done. 

Then his lord, after he had called him, said unto 
him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that 
debt, because thou desiredst me: 

Shouldst not thou also have had compassion on 
thy fellow-servant, even as I had pity on thee ? 

And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to 
the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due 
unto him. 

So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto 
you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his 
brother their trespasses.

VI. Prayer. 

Our Father in heaven, we thank thee that we 
are permitted to pray to thee ; tell thee what is in our 
hearts, to confess to thee all our sins and wrong- 
doing, and feel that thou wilt hear us, and forgive us, 
and bless us. Teach us, Lord, to love our enemies, 
to do good to those who hate us, ana to pray for those 
who despitefully use us. Give us the love of Jesus, 
who prayed for his murderers on the cross, and help 
us to feel that we ought to follow him in all things. 
Gracious Father, fill our hearts with the spirit of his 
forgiveness toward all who offend us or speak evil 
against us, or do us any kind of injury, so that we 
may be truly his disciples. And through him we 
will give to thee all the praise and the glory forever. 
Amen.

THE BLESSED LIFE. 

I. Singing. 

II. Superintendent's Reading. 

I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined 
unto me and heard my cry. 

He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out 
of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and 
established my goings. 

And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even 
praise unto our God : many shall see it, and fear, and 
shall trust in the Lord. 

Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his 
trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn 
aside to lies. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively.) 
From the Gospels. 

And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good 
Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have 
eternal life? 

And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good ? 
there is none good but one, that is, God : but if thou 
wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 

The life is more than meat, and the body is more 
than raiment. 

And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of 
covetousness : for a man's life consisteth not in the 
abundance of the things which he possesseth. 

I am come that they might have life, and that they 
might have it more abundantly. 

It is the spirit that quickeneth ; the flesh profiteth 

63 



nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are 
spirit, and they are life. 

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the 
light of the world : he that followeth me shall not 
walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. 

For as the Father hath life in himself, so hath he 
given to the Son to have life in himself. 

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husband- 
man. 

Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh 
away ; and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth 
it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 

Now ye are clean through the word which I have 
spoken unto you. 

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot 
bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no 
more can ye, except ye abide in me.

Gracious Father and Friend ! As children we have 
come together to receive the blessing thou hast 
promised to them that seek thee early. Help us to 
live in the light of thy goodness, and to be thankful 
for all the mercies we constantly enjoy. Teach us, 
O Lord, to hunger and thirst after righteousness, to 
be filled with its blessing, and to be satisfied with 
heavenly joy. May we live in peace with our com- 
panions, and cultivate friendship and love for all 
mankind. May we, even in childhood, learn to sub- 
mit to the ways of thy Providence ; that not only in 
health, but in sickness, not only in joy, but in sorrow, 
we may bow in submission to thy will. Great 
Teacher and Fountain of Wisdom, may we be thy 
scholars; may we come as willing pupils to the feet 
of Jesus, that our hearts may be enriched with the 
virtues of his life, and the blessings of his word. 
Grant, O Lord, that we may use this day to thine 
acceptance and to our spiritual good. Amen.

The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens ; 
and his kingdom ruleth over all. 

Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in 
strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto 
the voice of his word. 

Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts, ye ministers of 
his that do his pleasure. 

Bless the Lord, all his works, in all places of his 
dominion; bless the Lord, O my soul. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively.) 
Matt. xiii. ; Mark iv. ; Luke xvii. 

And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the king- 
dom of God ? or with what comparison shall we com- 
pare it? 

It is like a grain of mustard-seed, which, when it is 
sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in 
the earth; 

But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh 
greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great 
branches, so that the fowls of the air may lodge 
under the shadow of it. 

And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a 
man should cast seed into the ground ; 

And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the 
seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. 

For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself ; first 
the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the 
ear. 

66 



But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately 
he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is 
come. 

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure 
hid in a field ; the which when a man hath found, he 
hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that 
he hath, and buyeth that field. 

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a mer- 
chantman seeking goodly pearls ; 

Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, 
went and sold all that he had and bought it. 

And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, 
when the kingdom of God should come, he answered 
them, and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with 
observation ; 

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or lo there! for 
behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

the Holy Ghost. 

Sup. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his 
righteousness, 

School. And all things needful shall be added 
unto you. 

VI. Prayer. 

Unto thee, O God, is due the gratitude and praise of 
every heart. Thou hast taught us in thy word, that 
thy kingdom is not meat and drink, but righteousness, 
and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Thy throne 
is in every heart ; it is thy right to reign, and our 
duty to obey. Give unto us, O God, we pray thee, 
hearts to welcome the reign of truth. May it prove 
within us a power unto salvation. May it purify 
our affections, direct our thoughts towards heavenly 
things, and sanctify all our desires and pursuits. Fill 
all our hearts with thy spirit. Let thy righteousness 
and peace possess all our souls, that thy kingdom 
may come, and thy will be done on earth as it is in 
heaven. Make us faithful and obedient followers of 
thy Son, that our lives may be radiant like his. Keep 
us ever in thy love, that through thy grace we may 
overcome the world, enter into thy joy, and be 
crowned with thy salvation, through Jesus, our 
Master and Redeemer. Amen.

I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people; I 
will sing unto thee among the nations. 

For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy 
truth unto the clouds. 

Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth 
iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the rem- 
nant of his heritage ? He retaineth not his anger for- 
ever, because he delighteth in mercy. 

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let 
thy glory be above all the earth. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively.) 
Luke xv. 11-24. 

And he said, A certain man had two sons: 

And the younger of them said to his father, 
Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to 
me. And he divided unto them his living. 

And not many days after, the younger son gath- 
ered all together, and took his journey into a far 
country, and there wasted his substance with riotous 
living. 

And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty 
famine in that land ; and he began to be in want. 

And he went and joined himself to a citizen of 
that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed 
swine. 

And he would fain have filled his belly with the 
husks that the swine did eat; and no man gave unto 
him. 

69 



And when he came to himself, he said, How many 
hired servants of my father's have bread enough and 
to spare, and I perish with hunger ! 

I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto 
him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before 
thee, 

And am no more worthy to be called thy son; 
make me as one of thy hired servants. 

And he arose and came to his father. But when 
he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and 
had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and 
kissed him. 

And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned 
against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more 
worthy to be called thy son. 

But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the 
best robe, and put it on him ; and put a ring on his 
hand, and shoes on his feet: 

And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and 
let us eat, and be merry : 

For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he 
was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. 

IV. Recitation of Creed.

Superintendent. Enter not into the path of the 
wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. 

School. If sinners entice thee, consent thou not. 

Sup, Trust in the Lord with all thy heart, and 
lean not on thine own understanding. 

School. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he 
shall direct thy paths. 

Sup. Keep thy heart with all diligence ; 

School. For out of it are the issues of life. 

Sup. Create in me, O Lord, a clean heart,

School. And renew a right spirit within me. 

Sup. Open thou my lips ; 

School. And my mouth shall show forth thy 
praise. 

Sap. For thou desirest not sacrifice, else would I 
give it; 

School The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. 

Sup. The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a 
broken heart, 

School. And saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. 

Sup. Let us therefore search and try our ways ; 

School. Let us repent, and be converted, that our 
sins may be blotted out. 

VI. Prayer. 

Our Father and our God! We thank thee that 
thou lovest not only the wise, the great and the good, 
but thou rememberest the little child ; thou art mind- 
ful of the humble and the weak, and art moved with 
compassion even toward the wayward. Help us to 
know our faults. May we learn to hate them, and 
to forsake them ; and grant, O Lord, that in penitence 
we may come to thee for a Father's blessing. Thou 
art full of compassion. Grant that this day our les- 
sons and our thoughts of thee may help us to see 
that holiness is beautiful; that obedience alone is 
blessed ; that to be penitent and sorry for our sins is 
the way for us to return to thy arms, to receive thy 
favor, and to acquaint ourselves with thy love. 
Bless us this day. Save us from temptation, and fit 
us for every duty. Go with us through every trial; 
be our hope in death ; and crown us at last to thy 
glory, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

II. Superintendent's Reading. 

Unto thee I lift up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest 
in the heavens. 

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto 
my path. 

Thy testimonies are wonderful; therefore doth my 
soul keep them. 

The entrance of thy words giveth light ; it giveth 
understanding unto the simple. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively.) 
From the Gospel of St. John. 

There was a man sent from God, whose name was 
John. 

The same came for a witness, to bear witness of 
the Light, that all men through him might believe. 

He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness 
of that Light. 

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man 
that cometh into the world. 

He that believeth on him is not condemned; but 
he that believeth not is condemned already, because 
he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten 
Son of God. 

And this is the condemnation, that light is come 
into the world, and men loved darkness rather than 
light, because their deeds were evil. 

For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, 
neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be 
reproved. 

72 



But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that 
his deeds may be made manifest, that they are 
wrought in God. 

Nevertheless, among the chief rulers also many be- 
lieved on him ; but because of the Pharisees they did 
not confess him, lest they should be put out of the 
synagogue : 

For they loved the praise of men more than the 
praise of God. 

Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, be- 
lieveth not on me, but on him that sent me. 

And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. 

I am come a light into the world, that whosoever 
believeth on me should not abide in darkness. 

Walk while we have the light, lest darkness come 
upon you; for he that walketh in darkness knoweth 
not whither he goeth. 

While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye 
may be the children of light.

Sup. Who maketh the clouds his chariot; 

School. Who walketh upon the wings of the wind.

School. His ministers a flaming fire. 

Sup. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,

glad in thee; , 

Sup. Let such as love thy salvation say continu- 
ally, 

School. The Lord be magnified. 

VI. Prayer. 

God of our salvation ! We thank thee for the light of 
thy truth and the help of thy grace. As the world is 
made beautiful by the light of the sun, so may our 
souls receive beauty and strength from the gospel of 
Jesus Christ. Let the light of his life so shine into 
our hearts that there may be no darkness there. Let 
thy blessing rest upon our school, upon our teachers, 
our pastor, and our parents. Give success to the 
blessed work in which we are engaged. Increase 
our numbers and our zeal, and help us on each 
returning Sabbath to spend the day in thy praise. 
May we look to Jesus as our guide, and faithfully fol- 
low in his steps. May we let our light so shine 
before men that they may see our good works and 
be led to glorify thee. Let thy kingdom come, and 
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give 
us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts 
as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into 
temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is 
the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.

Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret 
not thyself because of him who prospereth in his 
way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices 
to pass. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively.) 
Matt. vii. and viii. ; James i. and ii. 

Therefore speak I to them in parables: because 
they seeing see not, and hearing hear not, neither 
do they understand. 

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, 
which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not 
understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not 
perceive : 

For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their 
ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have 
closed; lest at any time they should see with their 
eyes, and hear with their ears, and should under- 
stand with their heart, and should be converted, and 
I should heal them. 

75 



But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your 
ears, for they hear. 

For verily I say unto you, That many prophets 
and righteous men have desired to see those things 
which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear 
those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. 

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, 
deceiving your own selves. 

For if any be a hearer of the word and not a doer, 
he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in 
a glass; 

For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and 
straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 

But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, 
and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful 
hearer, but a doer of the word, this man shall be 
blessed in his deed. 

What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man 
say he hath faith, and have not works ? can faith save 
him? 

If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of 
daily food, 

And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, 
be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give 
them not those things which are needful to the body ; 
what doth it profit? 

Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being 
alone. 

Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have 
works ; show me thy faith without thy works, and 
I will show thee my faith by my works.

After this I beheld, and lo, a great multitude, 
which no man could number, of all nations, and kin-

throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white 
robes, and palms in their hands ; 

And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to 
our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the 
Lamb. 

And all the angels stood round about the throne, 
and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before 
the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, 

Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, 
and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, 
be unto our God forever and ever. Amen. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively. ) 
2 Cor. iv, v. 

All things are for your sakes, that the abundant 
grace, might through the thanksgiving of many re- 
dound to the glory of God. 

For which cause we faint not; but though our 
outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed 
day by day. 

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, 
worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal 
weight of glory : 

While we look not at the things which are seen, 
but at the things which are not seen: for the things 

78 



which are seen are temporal; but the things which 
are not seen are eternal. 

For we know that, if our earthly house of this 
tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of 
God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the 
heavens. 

For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be 
clothed upon with our house which is from heaven : 

If so be that being clothed we shall not be found 
naked. 

For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being 
burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but 
clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up 
of life. 

Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame 
thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest 
of the Spirit. 

Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, 
whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent 
from the Lord: 

For we walk by faith, not by sight ; 

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be 
absent from the body, and to be present with the 
Lord. 

Wherefore we labor, that, whether present or ab- 
sent, we may be accepted of him.

our portion forever.

School. But we seek one to come ; 

Sup. A city which hath foundations,

The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a 
lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; 
and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. 

And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, 
the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit 
of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of 
the fear of the Lord; 

And shall make him of quick understanding in the 
fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the 
sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing 
of his ears; 

But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, 
and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively.) 
Luke ii. 

And there were in the same country shepherds 
abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock 
by night. 

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came unto them, 
and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; 
and they were sore afraid. 

And the angel said unto them, Fear not; for be- 
hold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall 
be to all people. 

For unto you is born this day, in the city of Da- 
vid, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 

And this shall be a sign unto you; ye shall find 

81 



the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a 
manger. 

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude 
of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, 

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, 
goodwill toward men. 

And it came to pass, as the angels were gone 
away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one 
to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and 
see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord 
hath made known unto us. 

And they came with haste, and found Mary and 
Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 

And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose 
name was Simeon ; and the same man was just and 
devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel; and 
the Holy Ghost was upon him. 

And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, 
that he should not see death before he had seen the 
Lord's Christ. 

And he came by the Spirit into the temple, and 
when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do 
for him after the custom of the law, 

Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, 
and said, 

Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, 
according to thy word: 

For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, 

Which thou hast prepared before the face of all 
people : 

A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of 
thy people Israel.

for the gift of thy well-beloved Son, whom thou didst 
send to be the Saviour of the world. We hail with 
joy this day which commemorates his birth. We 
would lift up our voices in songs of praise, in honor 
of thine Anointed, the desire of all nations. And 
we pray that our hearts may be more deeply im- 
pressed with thy great love, revealed to the world 
through this unspeakable gift. We thank thee that 
thou hast made thyself known to us in his pure pre- 
cepts and spotless life. Help us, O God, so to receive 
him into our hearts, that we may glorify thy name, 
and establish peace and good-will among men. May 
the story of his life be impressed upon our minds. 
Sanctify us by his spirit, and save us in his kingdom, 
and thine shall be the praise forevermore. Amen.

hath spoken it. 

The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I 
cry ? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof 
is as the flower of the field : 

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; because 
the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it; surely the 
people is grass. 

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the 
word of our God shall stand forever. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively. ) 
xcth Psalm. 

Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place in all gen- 
erations. 

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever 
thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from 
everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. 

Thou turnest man to destruction, and sayest, Re- 
turn, ye children of men. 

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yes- 
terday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. 

Thou carriest them away as with a flood, they are 
as a sleep ; in the morning they are like grass which 
groweth up. 

In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the 
evening it is cut down, and withereth. 

84 



Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret 
sins in the light of thy countenance. 

We spend our years as a tale that is told. 

Make us glad according to the days wherein thou 
hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen 
evil. 

Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory 
unto their children. 

And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us ; 
and establish thou the work of our hands upon us ; yea, 
the work of our hands, establish thou it. 

Thou crownest the year with thy goodness, and thy 
paths drop fatness.

earth,

heavens, and his kingdom ruleth over all. 

VI. Prayer. 

O Lord of life and glory! Thou numberest the 
years as they pass away, and knowest the end from the 
beginning, and the future is as the present to thee. 
We stand at the beginning of another year, recalling 
the scenes that have faded away, as the hours have 
come and gone. Help us this day to remember the les- 
sons of joy and sorrow we have learned, that we may 
turn to the future, with our hearts prepared for what- 
ever in thy providence awaits us. We pray thee to 
forgive us for every neglect of duty, and for whatever 
we have done amiss. And do thou grant, O Lord, that 
in the year now before us we may live better and truer 
lives. Help us in every trial ; guard us in all our temp- 
tations, and save us from every sin. Keep us in thy 
love from the fear of danger, and make us faithful in 
every good word and work. And when our years on 
earth are ended, take us to thyself in heaven, that we 
may sing thy praises and the praises of the Lamb for- 
ever. Amen.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus 
Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath be- 
gotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection 
of Jesus Christ from the dead, 

To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and 
that fadeth not away. 

For the love of Christ constraineth us : because we 
thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead; 

And that he died for all, that they which live should 
not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which 
died for them, and rose again. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively.) 

The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene 
early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and 
seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. 

Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and 
to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and saith unto 
them, They have taken away the Lord out of the 
sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. 

Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, 
and came to the sepulchre. 

So they ran both together; and the other disciple 
did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. 

And he, stooping down and looking in, saw the linen 
clothes lying; yet went he not in. 

Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went 
into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, 

And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying 

87 



with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place 
by itself. 

Then went in also that other disciple, which came 
first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed. 

For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must 
rise again from the dead. 

Then the disciples went away again unto their own 
home. 

But Mary stood without at the sepulchre, weeping ; 
and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into 
the sepulchre, 

And seeth two angels in white, sitting, the one at the 
head, and the other at the feet, where the body of 
Jesus had lain. 

And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou ? 
She saith unto them, Because they have taken away 
my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. 

And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, 
and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was 
Jesus. 

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? 
whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the 
gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him 
hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will 
take him away. 

Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and 
saith unto him, Rabboni, which is to say, Master. 

Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not ; for I am not yet 
ascended to my Father : but go to my brethren, and say 
unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father ; 
and to my God, and your God. 

IV. Recitation of Creed.

thank thee for the bounties of thy providence, we adore 
thy most holy name for the gift of thy Son. We thank 
thee for the life he lived, for the truth he taught, and 
for all the words of comfort which he has left for af- 
flicted hearts. We thank thee that he lived for our in- 
struction, that he died for our salvation, and rose again 
for our hope and consolation. Grant, O God, that we 
may ever look unto him as the author and finisher of 
our faith. And while we this day commemorate his 
resurrection from the dead, may we feel the power of 
his new and higher life, turning us from our sins, and 
lifting us nearer to thee. Help us to see him as our 
risen Saviour, and to hear his voice, saying, "Come 
unto me, all ye that are weary and heavy laden, and 
I will give you rest/' May we be guided by his spirit,

herb for the service of man ; that he may bring forth 
food out of the earth. 

O Lord, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom

riches. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively.) 
Acts xvii, 22-28. 

Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars-hill, and 
said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things 
ye are too superstitious. 

For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I 
found an altar with this inscription, "To the Un- 
known God." Whom therefore ye ignorantly wor- 
ship, him declare I unto you. 

God that made the world, and all things therein, 
seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth 
not in temples made with hands. 

Neither is worshiped with men's hands, as 
though he needed anything, seeing he giveth to all 
life, and breath, and all things ; 

And hath made of one blood all nations of 
men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and 

90 



hath determined the times before appointed, and the 
bounds of their habitation; 

That they should seek the Lord, if haply they 
might feel after him, and find him, though he be not 
far from everyone of us ; 

For in him we live, and move, and have our 
being; as certain also of your own poets have said, 
For we are also his offspring.

his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.

above all, for thine inestimable love in the redemption

thee, give us a due sense of all thy mercies that our 
hearts may be unfeignedly thankful, and that we may 
show forth thy praise, not only with our lips, but in

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth : for the 
first heaven and the first earth were passed away ; and 
there was no more sea. 

And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, com- 
ing down from God out of heaven, prepared as a 
bride adorned before her husband. 

And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying, Be- 
hold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will 
dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God 
himself shall be with them, and be their God. 

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes ; 
and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor 
crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the 
former things are passed away. 

And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make 

93 



all things new. And he said unto me, Write : for these 
words are true and faithful. 

And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and 
Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto 
him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life 
freely. 

He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I

goodness; and wilt thou aid us to get good from the

fruits of peace and love, hope and faith. May we 
never be so overcome by sorrow as to despair; and

We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers 
have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in 
the times of old : 

How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy 
hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the 
people, and cast them out. 

For they got not the land in possession by their own 
sword, neither did their own arm save them; but thy 
right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy coun- 
tenance, because thou hadst a favor unto them. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively.) 
Luke xx and Rom. xiii. 

And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that 
thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest 
thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God 
truly. 

Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, 
or no? 

But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto 
them, Why tempt ye me? 

Show me a penny. Whose image and superscrip- 
tion hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's. 

And he said unto them, Render therefore unto 
Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the 
things which be God's. 

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. 

99 



For there is no power but of God ; the powers that 
be are ordained of God. 

Whosoever, therefore, resisteth the power, resisteth 
the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall 
receive to themselves condemnation. 

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to 
the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? 
Do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of 
the same: 

For he is the minister of God to thee for good. 
But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he 
beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister 
of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that 
doeth evil. 

Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for 
wrath, but also for conscience sake. 

For, for this cause pay ye tribute also ; for they are 
God's ministers, attending continually upon this very 
thing. 

Render therefore to all their dues : tribute to whom 
tribute is due ; custom to whom custom ; fear to whom 
fear; honor to whom honor. 

Owe no man anything, but to love one another : for 
he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

Superintendent. Trust ye in the Lord forever; 

School. For in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting 
strength ; 

Sup. For he bringeth down them that dwell on 
high; 

School. The lofty city he layeth it low. 

Sup. The way of the just is uprightness, 

School. For the Lord weigheth the path of the 
just. 

IOO 



Sup. Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, 
have we waited for thee ; 

School. The desire of our soul is to thy name, and 
to the remembrance of thee. 

Sup. Our fathers trusted in thee, O Lord ; 

School. They trusted, and thou didst deliver them. 

Sup. They cried unto thee and were delivered ; 

School. They trusted in thee and were not con- 
founded, 

Sup. Righteousness exalteth a nation; 

School. But sin is a reproach to any people. 

VI. Prayer. 

O thou who are the Ruler of nations, we bow 
before thee as the author of our liberty, and the 
source of every blessing. We would thank thee, this 
day, for the existence of our nation, and for all the 
blessings it has brought to us and to the world. May 
our hearts be moved by the memories of this hour, 
and may we remember the price our fathers paid for 
liberty. We thank thee for our Washington, and for 
all those who labored with him to establish the insti- 
tutions under which we live. May their memories be 
kept fresh in the hearts of our people to the latest 
generation. We humbly beseech thee to give unto us 
the same spirit which inspired their hearts. Let thy 
blessing rest upon all the nations of the earth ; and 
especially let thy favor be with our own beloved 
country. Fill our land with prosperity, and bless us 
with perpetual peace. Guide us through every peril; 
cleanse us as a people from every sin; and to thy 
name be all the glory forever and ever. Amen.

I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into 
the house of the Lord. 

When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said 
unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek. 

Thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither for- 
sake me, O God of my salvation. 

When my father and my mother forsake me, then 
the Lord will take me up. 

Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain 
path. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively.) 
Matt, viii and Mark x. 

At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, say- 
ing, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 

And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him 
in the midst of them, 

And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be con- 
verted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter 
into the kingdom of heaven. 

Whosoever, therefore, shall humble himself as this 
little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of 
heaven. 

And whoso shall receive one such little child in my 
name receiveth me. 

But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which 
believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone 
were hanged about his neck and that he were drowned 
in the depth of the sea. 

102 



Take heed that ye despise not one of these little 
ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels 
do always behold the face of my Father which is in 
heaven. 

And they brought young children to him, that he 
should touch them ; and his disciples rebuked those that 
brought them. 

But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and 
said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto 
me, and forbid them not ; for of such is the kingdom of 
God. 

Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive 
the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter 
therein. 

And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon 
them, and blessed them. 

IV. Recitation of Creed. 
V. Responses. 

Superintendent. This is the day which the Lord has 
made; 

School. We will rejoice and be glad in it. 

Sup. We come to thy house, O God, with the voice 
of joy and praise; 

School. For all thy works do praise thee and mag- 
nify thy name. 

Sup. One thing have we desired of the Lord ; that 
will we seek after : 

School. That we may dwell in the house of the 
Lord all the days of our lives, 

Sup. To behold the beauty of the Lord, 

School. And to inquire in his holy temple. 

Sup. Let us think of thy loving-kindness, O God, 

School. Because thy loving-kindness is better than 
life, 

Sup. In the midst of thy holy temple, 

103 



School. May our lips continually praise thee. 

Sup. In the assembly of the upright, and in the con- 
gregation, 

School. We will praise thee, O Lord, with our 
whole hearts. 

Sup. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all 
the days of our lives, 

School. And we will dwell in the house of the Lord 
forever. 

VI. Prayer. 

O Thou, who art worthy the reverent love of all 
hearts, hear our prayer, and let thy paternal blessing 
rest upon this school, and upon all those who shall be 
gathered here from time to time to receive instruction. 
Enlighten their minds, and prepare them for the solemn 
responsibilities of life. 

May faithful teachers take them to their very hearts, 
and, by living examples and affectionate appeals, win 
many souls to Christ. To this end may they be taught 
of God, baptized into the spirit of Jesus, and devote 
their energies to the highest welfare of the children. 
We beseech thee to assist those who may have the 
general oversight of this school. 

Here may many souls be consecrated to thee, and, 
walking in the footsteps of the Master, find the "peace 
which passeth all understanding," and the "rest which 
remaineth for the people of God." Amen.

We have thought of thy loving-kindness, O God, in 
the midst of thy temple. 

According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise 
unto the ends of the earth; thy right hand is full of 
righteousness. 

Let Mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah 
be glad because of thy judgments. 

Walk about Zion, and go round about her ; tell the 
towers thereof. 

Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; 
that ye may tell it to the generation following. 

For this God is our God forever and ever : he will 
be our Guide even unto death. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively.) 
Matt. xxv. 

The kingdom of heaven is as a man traveling into 
a far country, who called his own servants, and deliv- 
ered unto them his goods. 

And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, 
and to another one; to every man according to his 
several ability; and straightway took his journey. 

Then he that had received the five talents went and 
traded with the same, and made them other five 
talents. 

And likewise he that had received two, he also 
gained other two. 

But he that had received one went and digged in 
the earth and hid his lord's money. 

After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, 
and reckoneth with them. 

105 



And so he that had received five talents came and 
brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliver- 
edst unto me five talents ; behold, I have gained beside 
them five talents more. 

His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and 
faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few 
things, I will make thee ruler over many things: 
enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 

He also that had received two talents came and 
said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents; 
behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. 

His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faith- 
ful servant ; thou hast been faithful over a few things, 
I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou 
into the joy of thy lord. 

Then he which had received the one talent came 
and said, Lord, I knew thee, that thou art a hard 
man, .reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering 
where thou hast not strewed; 

And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in 
the earth : lo, there thou hast that is thine. 

His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked 
and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where 
I sowed not, and gather where I have not strewed : 

Thou oughtest, therefore, to have put my money to 
the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have 
received mine own with usury. 

Take therefore the talent from him, and give it 
unto him which hath ten talents. 

For unto everyone that hath shall be given, and he 
shall have abundance ; but from him that hath not 
shall be taken away even that which he hath. 

IV. Recitation of Creed. 

V. Responses. 

Superintendent. Blessed are they that fear the 
Lord, 

106 



School. That delight greatly in his command- 
ments. 

Sup. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, 

School. Who walk in the law of the Lord. 

Sup. Blessed are those servants whom the Lord 
shall find watching when he cometh. 

School. They shall receive the crown of life which 
the Lord hath promised to them that love him. 

Sup. What doth the Lord require of thee? 

School. To do justly, to love mercy, and to walk 
humbly with our God. 

Sup. Lead us, O Lord, in thy righteousness, 

School. And make thy way straight before us. 

Sup. God is our guide forever and ever; 

School. He will be our Guide even unto death. 

VI. Prayer. 

O Thou who art the high and holy One! We 
praise thee for all the blessings thou hast placed along 
our pathway. We have lived in the light of those 
blessings all the year that has gone, and to-day, as 
we wait upon the threshold of another year, help 
us to remember the lessons we have learned. Help 
us to make the year upon which we are enter- 
ing one of pleasure and profit, one in which the 
work of our hands shall correspond with the love 
of our hearts. And do thou help us to remem- 
ber, O God, our Father, as the years come and 
go, as the anniversaries of our Sabbath-school shall 
return, that the lesson of each is one to remind us 
that we are always to strive to make our lives more 
earnest and truthful. Thus may we ever live and 
labor, rejoicing in the hope of an eternal life, through 
Christ the Saviour. Amen.

The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof ; the

Except the Lord build the house they labor in vain 
that build it ; except the Lord keep the city the -watch- 
man waketh but in vain. 

III. Scripture Lesson. (Read Responsively.) 
Matt, xxviii, 16-20. 

Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, 
into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 

And when they saw him, they worshipped him ; but 
some doubted. 

And Jesus came, and spake unto them, saying, All 
power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 

Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing 
them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and 
of the Holy Ghost ; 

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I 
have commanded you; and lo, I am with you alway, 
even unto the end of the world. Amen. 

IV. Recitation of Creed.

Superintendent I will extol thee, my God, O 
King; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. 

School. Every day will I bless thee; and I will 
praise thy name for ever and ever.

Sup. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; 
and his greatness is unsearchable. 

School. One generation shall praise thy works to 
another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. 

Sup. I will speak of the glorious honor of thy 
majesty, and of thy wondrous works. 

School. And men shall speak of the might of thy 
terrible acts ; and I will declare thy greatness. 

Sup. They shall abundantly utter the memory of 
thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteous- 
ness. 

School. The Lord is gracious, and full of com- 
passion ; slow to anger, and of great mercy. 

Sup. The Lord is good to all ; and his tender mer- 
cies are over all his works. 

School. All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; 
and thy saints shall bless thee. 

Sup. They shall speak of the glory of thy king- 
dom, and talk of thy power ; 

School. To make known to the sons of men his 
mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. 

Sup. Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and 
thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. 

VI. Prayer. 

Almighty God and most merciful Father, who, of 
thine infinite goodness, hast given thine only and 
dearly beloved Son, Jesus Christ, to be our redeemer, 
and the author of everlasting life ; who, after he was 
ascended into heaven, poured down his gifts abun- 
dantly upon men, making some apostles, some 
prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, 
to the edifying of his church ; grant, we beseech thee, 
to those thy servants who have been sent into the 
mission field, such grace that they may evermore be 
ready to proclaim the glad tidings of reconciliation, 
and use the authority given them to salvation ; not to 

109 



hurt, but to help ; so that, as wise and faithful serv- 
ants they may spread the word of truth abroad, 
preaching the acceptable year of the Lord, hastening 
the day when the heathen shall become thine inherit- 
ance indeed and all men be brought into the everlast- 
ing joy of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We ask it in 
the name of thy Son. Amen.

i Hail to the Lord's anointed, 

Great David's greater Son! 
Hail in the time appointed, 

His reign on earth begun! 
He comes to break oppression, 

To set the captive free, 
To take away transgression, 

And rule in equity 

2 He shall come down like showers 

Upon the fruitful earth, 
And love and joy, like flowers, 

Spring in his path to birth; 
Before him on the mountains 

Shall peace, the herald, go, 
And righteousness in fountains, 

From hill to valley flow. 

3 O'er every foe victorious, 

He on his throne shall rest, 
From age to age more glorious, 

All-blessing and all-blest. 
The tide of time shall never 

His covenant remove ; 
His name shall stand forever: 

That name to us is — Love! .

CLOSING PRAYERS AND BENEDICTIONS. 



Our Father which art in heaven; hallowed be thy 
name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done in earth, 
as it is in heaven; give us this day our daily bread; 
and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; 
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from 
evil ; for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and 
the glory, forever. Amen. 

II. 

Most holy and gracious God ! we thank thee for the 
blessings we have enjoyed this day. We praise thy 
name for all we have learned of thy goodness and 
truth; and we pray that our hearts may be quickened 
thereby. May we never forget that thou art the giver 
and preserver of life ; that we may devote our lives to 
thee, in obedience to thy will. Let thy blessing rest 
upon our hearts as we go from this place, and may we 
feel that thine eye is ever upon us. Keep us in thy 
love, and crown us with thy mercy, and to thee shall 
be ascribed all praise and dominion forever. Amen. 

III. 

Father of mercies, and God of all grace! we look 
up to thee, once more, in prayer and supplication. We 
acknowledge thee as the source of all our joy, and we 
would render unto thee some worthy offering of praise. 
May we be drawn nearer to thee as we see from day 
to day the testimonies of thy love; and may we show 
our gratitude for all thy favors, by the conduct of our 
lives. Let thy benediction go with us among the duties 
and temptations of the world, and may we find entrance 
into thy kingdom through Christ, our Master and Re- 
deemer. Amen.

IV. 

Lord, thou hast blessed us with another season of 
communion with each other, and with thee. And now, 
as we close our school for to-day, we crave thy richest 
blessing to rest upon us. Lift every shadow from our 
minds, that we may see thee in all that is bright and 
beautiful in life ; and help us so to trust in thee, that all 
that is dark and sorrowful may tend to bring us still 
closer to thyself. O grant that we may feel thy pres- 
ence and love in every period of our lives, that our 
souls may be filled with thy peace and joy. Make us 
wise and good by the truth we learn; faithful to all 
our duties, as he was wise and good and faithful whom 
we call our Master and Redeemer. Let his example 
be the light by which we walk, and his character 
the pattern of our own ; for so shall thy kingdom come, 
and thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen. 

V. 

O God, the Creator and Preserver of all mankind, 
we humbly beseech thee for all sorts and conditions of 
men, that thou wouldest be pleased to make thy ways 
known unto them, thy saving health unto all nations. 
More especially we pray for thy Holy Church uni- 
versal ; that it may be so guided and governed by thy 
good spirit, that all who profess and call themselves 
Christians may be led into the way of truth and hold 
the faith in unity of spirit, in the bond of peace, and 
In righteousness of life. Finally, we commend to thy 
Fatherly goodness, all those who are any ways afflicted 
or distressed in mind, body, or estate ; that it may please 
thee to comfort and relieve them according to their 
several necessities; giving them patience under their 
sufferings and a happy issue out of all their afflictions : 
and this we ask in the name of Jesus Christ thy Son, 
our Saviour. Amen.

VI. 

O God, our Heavenly Father, when -first we came 
together this day for the service of our school we 
asked thy blessing to rest upon us. Now as we close 
our school we thank thee for the privilege of our 
worship and for the instruction we have received. 
May thy love attend us as we go hence to our homes 
and may the grace, mercy and peace that cometh 
from thee abide with us and bless us forevermore. 
Amen. 

VII. 

Our Father in heaven! We look to thee again for 
thy blessing, as we close the service of our school 
to-day. May the lessons we have learned here be 
deeply impressed upon our minds, and may we carry 
the spirit of this hour through all the week before 
us. Go with us, we pray thee, to guide us in the 
path of duty; to keep us from temptation and to save 
us from all evil. Make us faithful to thee and kind 
to each other, that we may find happiness and peace 
according to thy promises through Jesus Christ. 
Amen. 

VIII. 

Mizpah. The Lord watch between me and thee 
when we are absent one from another. 

IX. 

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make 
his face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you ; 
the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give 
you peace. Amen. 

X. 

^ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of 
God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with 
you all. Amen.

Mary to the Saviour's tomb, 

Hasted at the early dawn; 
Spice she brought, and sweet perfume; 

But the Lord she loved had gone; 
For a while she lingering stood, 

Filled with sorrow and surprise; 
Trembling while a crystal flood 

Issued from her weeping eyes. 



But her sorrows quickly fled, 

When she heard His welcome voice; 
Christ has risen from the dead; 

Now He bid her heart rejoice; 
What a change His words can make 

Turning darkness into day! 
Ye, who weep for Jesus' sake, 

He will wipe your weeping eyes.

Copyright, 1886, by The John Church Co 
From heart to heart the greetings flow, 

On Christmas day! On Christmas day! 
As up and down the people go, 

Happy Christmas day ! 
Within the trees are blossoming, 

happy day! happy day! 
All bright with love's eternal spring, 

Happy Christmas day! 
While hut and hall keep festival, 

On Christmas day! On Christmas day! 
And crown with cheer the waning year, 

Happy Christmas day! 



Nor time shall dim our love for him, 

happy day! happy day! 
Whose lowly birth gave joy to earth, 

Happy Christmas day! 
Still shines for us the star that led, 

happy day! happy day! 
The magi to the manger-bed, 

Happy Christmas day! 
And grows more clear with every year, 

happy day! happy day! 
The joyful word the shepherds heard, 

Happy Christmas day!

From thy precepts, Lord, we stray;

Unto every Christian grace, 
In our lives the life reflected
